Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 6/27/18 @ 7:10 PM CT

[wsnydes]

That's a nice play right there.

[USAFChief]

Fantastic job Respy! Much appreciated!

 

Just tuning in...how many'd we get off Shields already? Half dozen or so?

 

K's I mean.

[Mike Sixel]

It is really hard to believe it's this bad. Even when I was thinking of what could go wrong this year, I never thought every hitter but two or three would be this bad. 

[Danchat]

And now Gene Glynn's been ejected??

 

What?

[notoriousgod71]

Glynn ejected for some unapparent reason.

[notoriousgod71]

Ha, this game is just a **** show as Renteria tossed.

[Aggies7]

Perhaps gene was griping about a balk

[USAFChief]

Gene: Jerry...help me out here...I can't watch this ******* team anymore.

 

Jerry: YOU'RE GONE!!

[Aggies7]

You better get tossed mollie

[Danchat]

And now the inning has descended into madness. You can overturn a balk? Since when?

[notoriousgod71]

This game is even more of a **** show as now Molitor is tossed.

[wsnydes]

Correct call, good umpiring on the ball.

[Aggies7]

I’ve never seen a balk overturned in my life

[notoriousgod71]

This is why you watch the games, folks.

 

Never seen this before.

[USAFChief]

Why was the Chicago mgr not tossed for arguing a balk?

[Aggies7]

God even our ejections are weak

[wsnydes]

I’ve never seen a balk overturned in my life

Me neither, but at least they got the call right.

[Aggies7]

Man, Kepler has been brutal hasn’t he

[jkcarew]

Let’s play “Name the Twin with a lower ops than Ehire Adrianna”!

[Danchat]

That was a perfect summary of the Twins season. Rosario gets on base, ??? happens, bad RISP hitting, Twins somehow don't score.

[USAFChief]

Let’s play “Name the Twin with a lower ops than Ehire Adrianna”!

Is this a trick question? Seems too easy.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Is this a trick question? Seems too easy.

 

Name those with a higher OPS.....

[notoriousgod71]

Oh shut up, Dick, Renteria didn't get tossed for arguing a balk because there was no balk.

[jkcarew]

Name those with a higher OPS.....

Rosario. Escobar.

[David HK]

Gibby hasn't been great, but he hasn't been terrible.

 

It must suck to be a Twins' starter these days, and give up a couple of runs, knowing your team has no chance to come back from that deep a trench.

 

He must be pitching through tears.

 

Must be, because that's how I'm watching this hot mess...

[notoriousgod71]

Pressly getting loose. Did Molly call that one in from the clubhouse?

[Mike Sixel]

It's a blowout, who can they bring in that is rested? Anyone?

[USAFChief]

Oh shut up, Dick, Renteria didn't get tossed for arguing a balk because there was no balk.

actually, he should have been tossed the instant his foot touched ground outside the dugout. There was still a balk at the time. Automatic ejection.

[tvagle]

 

And now the inning has descended into madness. You can overturn a balk? Since when?

So, umpire sees enough to make the Balk call...emphatically instructs runners to move up a base...and then realizes Shields might have stepped off first

 

Once that call is made show a little professionalism and stick by your call...when argument ensues, use the time honored reply..."I may have missed that one coach, but that's what I saw and called"

 

The RIGHT call was the original call...by switching his decision he's subject to challenge on every call

 

Just DUMB

[h2oface]

 

Gibby hasn't been great, but he hasn't been terrible.

 

11 hits in 6 inning? Pretty terrible, today, in my book. And I am a consistent Gibson supporter, and not a fair weather one.
